The event will benefit Cooper, a 10-month-old -year-old beagle who is battling heartworm. Funds raised will help finance the treatment of this often fatal disease.

Registration for the Walk/Run begins at Pine Street Arena (43 Pine Street) at 9:30 a.m. The walk will begin at 10 a.m. People do not have to bring a dog to participate. Eligibility is by a pledge sheet or donation. Following the walk, PHS staff will be giving out a variety of prizes, generously donated by various local stores. PHS t-shirts and other items will also be available for purchase to benefit the shelter.

The craft fair will run from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. at the arena. Admission is free. Food, face painting and music by a local DJ will be available throughout the day along with a special appearance in the morning by Cubby T. Clown.
